'I understand to want to have a mature dialog is too much to ask. And I will be your one regret if you'll stay in my past.'
Two months after breaking up
It wasn't really fair how things turned out, at least not for Leah. Emily found out two months later that she was pregnant. And I knew that I had to see Leah and tell her. Maybe I could explain this and we could somehow work this out.
Maybe she felt enough love for me to forgive what I had done. It was a lot to ask, too much to ask, but we just needed to talk. It was horrible living without her. And everyone was talking about it … I could hear them.
I banged on the door anxiously, hoping to get an answer since this was the first time I had actually tried to contact her. I know, I acted like a coward.
"You have some nerve." Sue Clearwater scolded me immediately as she opened the door. "Leah doesn't need someone like you in her life."
"I know but … I'm here. I want her to understand a few things."
"We already know about … you know, but … we're trying to figure out how to tell Leah. Let us handle this." She added.
"No mom, I want to hear this." Leah called from the background. Soon after, she had pushed past her mom and was standing face to face with me. She looked absolutely beautiful. Her hair looked shinier, healthier, her skin tone had deepened and evened out … Leah looked better than the last time I saw her, if that was possible.
"Leah." I breathed, breathless. I hoped that she could see that I did love her … I still loved her.
"What are you here for Sam?'"
"I need to talk to you. There's something, something that you need to know." I looked down, stopping my body from rushing to meet hers and hold onto Leah tightly. I never wanted our destinies to part. We had to stick together.
"What is it?" Leah approached me with so much openness and honesty that I was taken aback. I hadn't expected this. "I know Emily is pregnant. If that's what you came to talk about, then don't bother. You're bound to her forever now. Go be with her."
I wanted to scream no. I wanted to explain to Leah that I had imprinted her for a reason, that she was the one that I loved and nothing could hold us back but my mind temporarily went on hiatus, my tongue refused to move or something because none of that was ever articulated to Leah.
"I hate you." She muttered again. "Don't come around here. I don't want to see you."
"I won't stop loving you. Ever. I'll make it up to you." I promised, well-intentioned.
"I hope you die and go to hell." She responded, slamming the door behind her. Ever so faintly, I could hear the sounds of soft cries. I'd never heard Leah cry before.
